John Hall Wheelock Heart Poems
- 1. Love Knocks At The Door
In the pain, in the loneliness of love,
To the heart of my sweet I fled.
I knocked at the door of her living heart,
“Let in-let in-” I said.
... - 2. Exile From God
I do not fear to lay my body down
In death, to share
The life of the dark earth and lose my own,
If God is there.
... - 3. Earth
Grasshopper, your fairy song
And my poem alike belong
To the dark and silent earth
From which all poetry has birth;
...
